I love news.com sometimes...

A CHILD named Adolf Hitler Campbell and his siblings have been taken from their family by child welfare workers.

The New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services removed three-year-old Adolf and his younger sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell from their home on Tuesday, The Associated Press reports.

Agency spokeswoman Kate Bernyk said it would not provide any details on why the children were removed.

The kids' parents, Heath and Deborah Campbell, received worldwide attention last month when they complained that a shop had refused to make Adolf a birthday cake.

Mr Campbell, 35, has decorated his home with swastikas and says he is related to a member of the SS.

But he said it is the store that wouldn't write "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler" on a cake that should have shown more consideration for other people's feelings.

"They need to accept a name. A name's a name. The kid isn't going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did," he told the Associated Press at the time of the cake incident.

But the ShopRite store that refused the cake request says it did the right thing.
